From the Wikipedia article
Dovey Junction ( DUH-vee-; Welsh: Cyffordd Dyfi) is a railway station on the Cambrian Line in Wales. It is the junction where the line splits into the line to Aberystwyth and the Cambrian Coast Line to Pwllheli. Passenger services are provided by Transport for Wales. There is a single island platform. The station is in Powys, about 440 yards (400 m) north-east of the junction of three counties: the current principal areas of Ceredigion, Powys and Gwynedd, corresponding to the traditional counties of Cardiganshire, Montgomeryshire and Merionethshire. The station is in the midst of the Dyfi National Nature Reserve, near the Cardigan Bay coast. There is no settlement here but a 0.6-mile (1 km) footpath provides passenger access to and from the hamlet of Glandyfi in Ceredigion, and to a main road (the A487).

The station platforms were raised in 2008 in conjunction with raising of the tracks, to reduce the likelihood of closure of this section of line due to flooding. The work was part of a major programme of work on the Cambrian Line, including ERTMS signalling to replace the previous…
